Re: Blue or Blue-Gray Camouflage on Bf 109E
Hi Frank,
quite right - but the 'official' name for RLM 74 is given (depending on source, such as the Monogram Painting Guide, Eagle Editions, Ullmann, Kookaburra series etc etc) as Graugrun or Dunkelgrau (grunlich) [note, rpelces typo 'Dunkelgrun in first version of post]. My point was (is) that it was by no means a definite blue-grey as seen in several photos and therefore cannot account for, or be used explain away these schemes (also with a paler blue-grey on the upper surfaces). The other stock 'excuse' or 'put-down' is that it was poorly mixed standard colour. Hmmmm..
Cheers
